With all the rigmarole that international travelers continued to endure this summer because of the pandemic and related airline issues, quite a few charter yacht owners decided to keep their boats in the United States—and more than a few owners sent those boats up to New England. This is great luck for anyone who has the ability to charter during the offseason months of September and October, pretty much anywhere along the coast from Rhode Island up to Maine. The summertime crowds are gone, the top marinas tend to have more availability for transient slips, and the changing of the seasons creates a natural bounty of breathtaking color ashore.

Yacht owners themselves are getting in on the fall fun this year too, creating even more charter opportunities after they leave their boats: “The owners of Miss Christine are going to use her in September, and we’re working on October inquiries for leaves changing and fall colors,” says Nicole Caulfield, charter manager at RJC Yachts, which has numerous yachts available in New England well into September and October (a few are shown below).

In addition to perennially popular waterfront stops around the region for lobster rolls, clambakes and bowls of piping-hot chowder, New England also has some special events planned that can be part of a charter itinerary this fall. In late September, Mystic Seaport in Connecticut will put on its 25th annual Antique Vehicle Show, featuring about 100 pre-1932 vehicles on display. In October, Fort Adams State Park in Newport, Rhode Island, will host the Newport Food Truck and Craft Beer ­Festival, with regional suds from Dorchester Brewing Co. and seaside-inspired craft cocktails from Cape Cod’r, among others. Also in October, the Nantucket Conservation ­Foundation in Massachusetts hosts a Cranberry Festival, which coincides with an islandwide shopping event called Cobblestones & Cranberries.

“We also have boats that will consider going to Maine through September,” Caulfield says. “The weather is still good, and it’s a pretty fall time. It’s great cruising.”

Acadia National Park

This picturesque spot in Maine is one of America’s 10 most visited national parks. Hikers can indulge in 148 miles of trails, which are separate from the miles upon miles of motor roads for cars, as well as the carriage roads for bicyclists and horseback riders. For a truly immersive experience, leave the boat for a night and reserve a space at one of the park’s four campgrounds. Early September is often ideal for smaller crowds and warmer temperatures in the park.

The 161-foot Trinity Zoom, Zoom, Zoom has returned to the charter market with a new owner, new crew and new upgrades.

They are coming aboard with a new owner who just invested in an upgraded audiovisual system, a new 40-foot SeaHunter tender and an inflatable water slide, all of which should enhance the charter experience.

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom has a lowest weekly base rate of $180,000 for 10 guests. She’s part of the Northrop & Johnson charter fleet.

Available destinations: Bahamas this winter, and New England and Maine this summer.

Trinity Superyacht Attitude

International Yacht Collection has just welcomed the 150-foot Trinity Attitude to the charter fleet.

Attitude was on display at last week’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show and now will prepare to move to the Caribbean, where she will charter this winter at a lowest weekly base rate of $140,000 out of Sint Maarten.

Her post-refit amenities include a 32-foot towed Intrepid tender and a new audiovisual system featuring Apple AirDrop and AirPlay along with Crestron controls. Accommodations are for 10 guests in the master, two king-bed guest cabins, one queen-bed guest cabin and one twin-bed guest cabin.

Trinity motoryacht Skyfall

Here’s your big chance to sit at the helm of a secret-agent-worthy yacht: The 190-foot Trinity Skyfall has just been listed for sale with Worth Avenue Yachts at an asking price of $36.5 million and will be available for tours during this month’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show.

Skyfall was built in 2010 and is being marketed at what Worth Avenue calls “an aggressive price [by] an experienced and realistic owner.” News of the Trinity listing comes about a month after delivery was taken on the 150-foot Palmer Johnson Skyfall II, which we reported in September. The owners are John and Jeannette Staluppi, who are longtime yachting enthusiasts. They also recently announced they are stepping aside from the under-construction, 223-foot Project Skyfall at Sunrise Yachts.

Skyfall accommodates as many as 17 guests in seven staterooms. She has a touch-and-go helipad, a wheelchair-capable elevator that accesses three decks, a split-level, full-beam master suite, air conditioning on her aft deck as well as indoors, a custom-designed wine cellar and interior décor by Patrick Knowles featuring Honduras mahogany, maple burl and wenge.

The yacht received a new exterior paint job earlier this year.

“With a draft of only 8 feet 6 inches, a top speed of 21 knots and a maximum economical range of 4,600 nautical miles, she combines true oceangoing capability with the versatility of reaching those shallow secluded bays and marinas that are impossible for most yachts this size,” broker Peter Thompson stated in a press release.
